Forest fires in the northeast holding steady

Firefighters continue to battle 26 wildfires spread across the northeast.

All these fires are either under control or being observed.

The various provinces continue to supply Ontario with various equipment to help extinguish the blazes although the personnel have gone back to their respective homes.

One fire that hasn’t got any bigger is Parry Sound 33.
